PCL / Bidvest Manchester, UK

When PCL (operated as part of Bidvest Logistics in the UK), the chilled food services company, wanted to carry out a refurbishment to its coldstore distribution centre in Manchester, IMA Cooling, the contractors for the project, turned to Kingspan Insulated Panels for the new internal envelope of the building.

Having worked with Kingspan’s Controlled Environments team

on numerous installations in the past, IMA Cooling was quick

to specify 20,000m2 of Kingspan UltraTemp insulated wall and

ceiling panels, as they are designed specifically for use within food

manufacturing and temperature controlled storage facilities.

With the facility being used to store dairy products, it was essential

that the new internal envelope allowed high levels of hygiene to

be maintained. To meet this need, the UltraTemp panels were

specified with Kingspan CLEANsafe 120 coating which provides

protection against contamination, resists both mould growth and

surface extraction and allows the panels to be regularly cleaned

and disinfected.

UltraTemp insulated panels are available in a choice of six distinct,

aesthetically-pleasing profiles. These fully bespoke panels can be

manufactured with different profiles and coatings to the internal and

external faces to suit project specific requirements. 175mm thick

wall panels were specified for this project with the Equi-Bead profile

on both sides in Kingspan CLEANsafe 120. The ceiling panels

were specified with a thickness of 125mm, Equi-Bead profiling

on both sides, and with Kingspan CLEANsafe 120 internally and

Kingspan CLEANsafe 15 externally.

Mike Nash at IMA Cooling said:

“UltraTemp panels were ideally suited to the project, delivering the performance levels and finish PCL expect from us. Having worked with Kingspan’s panels for over seven years, our crews find them the best systems on the market in terms of consistency and reliability.”
